Hardest achievements

The hardest achievement is Issen Master: perform 100 Issen counters in a single playthrough. This requires consistent parry timing across the entire game. The second hardest is No Mercy: defeat all bosses without taking damage (on any difficulty). This is only feasible on Easy or Normal, and even then, it demands near-perfect execution against the Genma Sovereign fight.

  • Issen Master: 100 Issen counters in one playthrough (Hard difficulty recommended).
  • No Mercy: all bosses hitless (Easy mode is acceptable for this).
  • Completionist: all memory fragments and soul caches found.
  • Hard+ Warrior: clear the game on Hard+ (unlocked after first Hard clear).
Save Issen Master for a New Game Plus run on Normal difficulty. You carry over your maxed weapons and Gauntlet upgrades, making parry setups easier since you stagger enemies faster.

The Platinum trophy / 100% completion requires roughly 40-50 hours. Difficulty achievements stack, so clearing Hard+ also unlocks Normal and Easy achievements.

FAQ

Can I get all achievements in one playthrough?
No. Difficulty achievements require separate playthroughs on each difficulty. Hard+ is a separate unlock from Hard and requires clearing the game on Hard first.
Does the Steam version have its own achievement set?
Yes, but the achievement list is identical across all platforms. The game has 42 achievements on every platform.
